Summary:

How do atoms interact with each other? And how do scientists gather evidence about these tiny bits of matter? In Atomic Structure & the Periodic Table, viewers explore the historical experiments by scientists Thomson and Rutherford, which led to the discovery of subatomic particles and the development of nuclear theory. Students learn that the shape of the periodic table is a direct result of the microscopic structure of atoms that make up all the elements. Basic high school chemistry concepts are reinforced, along with clear explanations of the evolution of atomic models through quantum mechanics. Includes a look at some of the many patterns found in periods and groups of elements that combine to create the world around us. Features information about a printable "Guide to the Elements" that can be used for student research and assessment purposes. Part of the multivolume The Periodic Table for Students DVD Series. A Teacher's Guide is included and available online.
